You will choose one of the three theories discussed in the section entitled “Symbolic Interaction and the Development of Self” from chapter 5. You can use Cooley’s “looking glass self,” Mead’s work on how self develops, or Goffman’s “impression management.” Choose a quotation from the above section in Ritzer’s textbook that explains the theory you chose. Then, in your own words, explain how you think that theory works. Finally, relate a specific experience from your childhood that can be used as an example of the theory you chose. The quotation must be followed with a parenthetical reference. The full reference, properly formatted, is needed after the body of the assignment using either APA or MLA citation style. The minimum length for this assignment is two paragraphs. |
